My sons fiance is graduating today. She was only given a small number of tickets, so I am not actually going to the graduation, but I was invited to meet them for dinner. Her parents are divorced, so both sets of parents would be there. I am by no means expecting anyone to pay for my meal. But would it be ok for me to state that I will pay for me and my son? Should I offer to pay for his fiancé? I didn’t want to step on any toes. And I wouldn’t think they should pay for my son? Thoughts?
And is this how she’s wishing her son happy birthday??
She’s saying she would quit her business (cosmetic line) already!
So my oldest daughter is married and having her second child. She is joining the 2 under 2 group. Her in-laws have never been very supportive of her and her husband. For her baby shower, the MIL forgot the gift at home (a changing pad, and pacifier) Her two sister in laws were over an hour late. I watch my grandchild a few short hours a week, as my daughter does not work full time. This is her husband’s family, 6th grandchild. Her husband’s parents, at one point had 2 of the other grandchildren living with them, because of a divorce situation. The youngest grandchild was 1 when my daughter became pregnant. The high chair, crib, toys and the sort were readily available for that particular grandchild. They but all disappeared by the time my daughter gave birth. Going forward, my daughter’s second child is almost due. She’s been pregnant 8 months and of course everyone knows the due date. I am pretty much on stand by for when they go into labor. The MIL announced that she is hosting a family event on my daughter’s exact due date. I am crushed. Not only is she showing them that she is in know way interested in helping out with the other child. She is acting as though the due date was completely forgotten. My daughter and her husband are both in disbelief and a bit shocked. I am just sad for them ☹️
